Got a short test in last week on a quiet bit of road at a secret location, It started and ran ok, but once moving it was clear that it is only running properly at part throttle. Back at base and a bit more research and it looks like i have some ports on the carb blocked or unblocked since i removed the
air valve gizmo.
The large port on top of diaphragm cap needs to be blanked so that vacuum from inside carb body can open the slide. I had it open. The port on right hand side of carb is actually a vent for the float chamber so needs to be open. I had it blocked.
The metal pipe elbow from the top of carb body needs to be open as this vents the space below vac diaphragm to allow slide movement, i had that blocked too.
Should be better now. Hope to get another test in later this week.
I have ordered an R6 Master cylinder for front brake and some new EBC track pads. The Master cylinder is 16mm where the old one is 13mm i think.

Been working on cooling system now exhaust is done. Bought TDM850 Rad which has a pressure cap thinking i wouldn't need a separate expansion tank. Now the rad is mounted as high as i can get it, the filler is not the highest point on the system so will need a small expansion tank to fill from. Ordered a RS125 one that should do the job. Fitted some hoses but need some more bends to plumb the red in neatly. Its very congested and tricky round the water pump area.
